I have been away, I apologize! My computer is at the apple hospital. it's sick :(. But hopefully I will have it back by Friday!

Tonight I will be spending New Year's Eve with my family at home, but we have stocked up on my favorite champagne,Sofia (It also comes in little pink cans with matching pink straws, how could you not love it??)

Last night we braved the storm to go out for dinner. And then we did doughnuts in Malainie's car because there was no one in the parking lot. I decided to dress up, however I had to switch the heels out for my winter boots. There is something that I just love so much about black and red together. I love this skirt, however it really needs to be hemmed. Pleats scare me, though.....

Tonight we are finally decorating our christmas tree! I will post pictures from our adventure to Pepperell, Mass. to get it, because it was quite comical.

Sweater- H&M (it has a big bow at the neck however it is on the other side. you can see it if you click the picture!)pleated skirt- thrifted/altered by meombre tights- targetpeep toe booties- nine westknit cap- f21Red Riding Hood Memorabilia- courtesy of 20 years of collecting by Mama Rose :)

PS: Everyone should listen to St. Vincent, because she is lovely and mesmerizing. This entire album is a gem!

Today we decided to finally go and cut down our Christmas tree, however the weather was not on our side. It has been blizzarding all day, and so it was too snowy to drive too far. Instead we just went to Mcdonald's because the Germans were craving greasy American food. Then we came right back home, made hot chocolate, and sat by the fire.

PS: it is supposed to snow another 10 inches by tomorrow! But I am ok with that because I have nowhere to go. So, as they say...Let it Snow! :)

I have two more exams tomorrow, and then I am done with school for an entire month! I am anxious to get home, despite the fact that my family has not had power since last Friday. I hope it's back by Wednesday night, but who knows. Oh New England. My camera is falling to shambles, although its my own fault. I don't deserve it...I keep dropping it/losing it in my parking lot and letting it get run over. I swear, though, it has nine lives. It still works perfectly about 90% of the time...and then sometimes I just have to tap it on something to get the lens to come out....

This is my favorite shirt lately, a little boy's plaid button up from the Gap (although I found it at Goodwill). I have so much to blog about, so many pictures to put up, and I will have lots of time once I get back to New Hampshire. yay!

All my life I have had secret obsessions over lots of little things, things that other people find weird, but I mostly keep them to myself. On Saturday while at the Venus and Mars open house, I came across this amazing black crushed velvet blouse, with ruffles and a low neckline, victorian, mmm. Mackenzie thinks I'm crazy for my intense love affair with anything velveteen, but I can't help it. I'm just drawn to it. I guess it kind of reminds me of holiday parties as a child, dressed up in black or red velvet jumpers, velvet hair bows and headbands are a MUST, and any kind of velvet accents on shoes make me swoon. (PS going back to Venus and Mars briefly, my crush on Karen Elson might just reach stalker level, especially with her right across the street from me at any given moment. kidding...kind of....)

So since it is the holiday season, and while others are pulling out their sequins and glitz (although I have nothing against a nice sparkly new years dress!), I will be reverting back to my inner child and prancing around in a tiny velveteen dress, with some pretty tights, a hair bow, and maybe some mary-janes. OH how lovely.
